The new year is a great time to establish a healthier new routine, and we think your home space is a great place to start. We believe that embracing a holistic lifestyle starts in the home. We’ve rounded up our list of hot new Eco Trends of 2018 to get you started.

Just for You:

"Their debut project, a prototype Microsilk dress designed by McCartney and handmade by Bolt’s knitters, was revealed in October at New York’s Museum of Modern Art" - Fast Company

Love Goodly Subscription Box – This bimonthly subscription box delivers non-toxic beauty, lifestyle and wellness products at a great price. The brands they carry are cruelty-free, organic, non-gmo, eco-friendly and vegan. If you’re looking to eliminate toxic chemicals from your life, beauty products are a great place to start.

Hemp Eyewear – Hemp is a truly amazing material, as is evident with these killer glasses made from Hemp! This is one of the most interesting applications of hemp we’ve ever seen and it provides a great sustainable alternative to products made from harmful materials.

Pixie Cup – A Pixie Menstrual Cup is a reusable silicone cup that collects your menstrual flow. Feminine hygiene products are full of chemically treated cotton and they pile up in landfills. The Pixie Cup is a reusable alternative to all that waste, and they donate cups to women in need. Try it before you knock it. If nothing else, you’ll save major cash on all those boxes of tampons.

Thinx Underwear – Super absorbent undies that hold up to 2 tampons worth of menstrual blood. The top layer fights bacteria and absorbs any liquid into the über thin layer right beneath it, so you always stay dry. We love the look and comfort of these super cute underwear and can’t get enough of their cheeky sense of humor.

And for those of you looking for signs of radical change in the future…you just might want to check out this Cannabis Car created by Bruce Michael Dietzen, inspired by the original one that Henry Ford made:

“Body panels and chassis components made from hemp are lighter weight than steel or metal, and are are far more dent resistant than steel. Every bit of plastic, carpeting and upholstery in a car can be made of hemp.”
